True Apocalypse Game

At the Legion Commander’s command, the Salvation Army Warriors, who had been waiting for this moment, immediately opened fire.

All sorts of weapons, including tanks and armored vehicles, simultaneously unleashed furious tongues of fire, reaping the surrounding Symbiote zombies like scythes.

The most efficient were still the few anti-aircraft cannons. Their turrets spun a few times and immediately turned the Symbiote zombies within a nearly thousand-meter radius into meat paste.

The heavy machine guns mounted on the armored vehicles and tanks also transformed into the Grim Reaper’s combine harvesters. A few sweeps from different angles and the Symbiote zombies were torn in half at the waist, or their heads and upper torsos were blown apart by massive holes, leaving them with absolutely no chance of survival.

The Salvation Army Warriors began to practice their marksmanship, trying their best to land a headshot with every bullet.

The full-band jamming system also had some effect on them, but it was mostly tinnitus, which wasn’t a major issue.

Just as the power supply vehicles were about to run out of energy and the full-band jamming system was about to shut down, this one-sided massacre finally came to an end.

The Symbiote zombies, who had been preparing to slaughter their human allies, never would have dreamed that their allies had long been prepared for this day.

Looking at the corpses that had been blown to pieces or had their heads blown off, the Salvation Army Warriors couldn’t help but reveal somber expressions.

Speaking of which, the intelligence displayed by these Symbiote zombies was no different from that of humans, which had made them quite likable.

However, this was a war of life and death. A fleeting moment of pity flashed through their hearts before they returned to their necessary coldness.

What amazed everyone even more was the Commander’s design for the "True Apocalypse Game," which was truly breathtaking.

If nothing else, the intelligence displayed by the Symbiote zombies was simply beyond what any existing artificial intelligence program could achieve.

With a final hum—the full-band jamming system finally ceased operation, leaving behind a field of corpses.

The few dozen remaining Symbiote zombies, who had descended into chaos, stopped twitching. Their expressions were now no different from those of ordinary zombies.

Their Symbiote consciousness had perished along with the vast majority of its constituent bodies.

"Humans, you..." The Hannibal Symbiote still had a faint trace of consciousness. The last few constituent zombies were about to say something before their heads were instantly blown off by heavy machine guns.

After finishing their work, the Salvation Army Warriors didn’t spare the Symbiote corpses a second glance. They started their engines and charged toward the giant tower that had collapsed in the ruins.

Although the giant tower in New York City had been destroyed, there were still over ten thousand giant towers around the world, each possessing the same capabilities as the one in New York City.

When the legendary Destructive awakens, even if they holed up in New York City, they would not escape the fate of being collectively slaughtered.

After all, based on their previous experience, the power of that Destructive was far beyond what conventional weapons could counter.

It was almost like Yuri from Red Alert.

Therefore, according to the plan they had formulated, if the Salvation Army wanted to prevent the Destructive from awakening, they had to destroy all the giant towers across the globe!

Based on the Salvation Army Warriors’ previous direct experience and calculations, all the giant towers in the world should belong to the same communications network. In other words, every giant tower was like a base station, a signal transmission tower.

Thus, the destroyed giant tower before them was of utmost importance!

Soon, a convoy of engineering vehicles, hauling all kinds of equipment, sped in from the base outside New York City and began to unload generators and other gear.

Top experts in electronics, mechanics, and signal communications, together with the medical support unit led by Li Tongchen, began their research on the giant tower.

All kinds of wires and electrodes were connected to the tower. What they needed to study was not the severed upper half of the tower, but the tower’s root, which was connected to the ground.

At this moment, the entire site was littered with huge chunks of flesh and blood, some nearly the size of houses.

The ground was covered with thick, tentacle-like and vein-like structures that connected to the giant tower’s underground root system.

According to the research of Li Tongchen and the others, the upper part of this giant tower was a transmission device; the core was located underground.

If this giant tower were compared to a transmitter, then its core control hub and signal encoding center were located underground.

With the support of armored vehicles and tanks, several engineering vehicles began to dig downwards into the giant tower’s hundred-meter-thick base.

The stench at the scene was stomach-churning, but no one had any intention of stopping.

The flesh and blood that made up the tower’s base was now like hard-packed earth, interspersed with chaotic tangles of bone. Fortunately, the various engineering machines were powerful enough to dig through it.

With the fall of the giant tower, all the zombies in New York City seemed to have a sense of impending doom. They all moved far away from the city center, wandering aimlessly.

Therefore, although the Salvation Army was on high alert, waiting to withstand the impact of a zombie horde, they didn’t see a single zombie.

Gusts of wind swept across the excavation site in the city center, kicking up clouds of blood mist.

Finally, as dusk approached, the Salvation Army Warriors dug up what they were looking for.

Piles of black, mutated brains held together by mucus and neural networks.

These brains were arranged neatly within the tower’s foundation, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Looking at them, if not for the surrounding blood and viscous tissue, one might have mistaken it for a massive server rack.

This was a biological computer matrix system.

This was what supported the entire giant tower’s signal transmission and various functions.

At this point, without waiting for the Legion Commander’s orders, cables were plugged into one mutated brain after another, and the process of cracking the signals began.

Their goal was to directly control this giant tower "base station" and invade the global giant tower communication network.

The Legion Commander, along with Nick and the others, stood at the edge of the giant pit, looking down at the dense array of black, mutated brains with solemn expressions.

They hadn’t expected everything to go exactly as they had planned. But then again, it wasn’t all that surprising. After all, the Salvation Army had gathered the elites of all mankind. If they couldn’t do it, then there was no hope left for human civilization.

"Legion Commander, do you think we can redeem ourselves in the Commander’s eyes this time?" Nick, who was usually fearless, asked with a hint of apprehension.

The Legion Commander gave a bitter smile and replied with some uncertainty, "After all, we’re just a bunch of mortals... It’s not the first or second time we’ve disappointed the Commander. Let’s hope he’ll be a little less disappointed this time..."

Li Tongchen, standing to the side, shook his head slightly and said:

"Based on my previous interactions with the Commander and my understanding of him, he probably won’t show anything, but he might still be slightly disappointed on the inside. We need to speed up the process. The Arctic Space Wormhole in the real world still hasn’t been dealt with, and we need the Commander’s rewards and support."

Hearing this from Li Tongchen, who had had deep exchanges with the Commander, the Salvation Army Warriors, who had been feeling a bit proud, immediately suppressed their complacency and began to work even faster.

They didn’t know when the Destructive would awaken, so the sooner they finished their current task, the greater their advantage would be.

After a full night and the following morning of hard work, and after using existing satellites to input some data into the Eagle Country’s surviving supercomputers for processing, finally, by noon the next day, the Salvation Army Warriors got the result they wanted.

They had perfectly infiltrated the entire giant tower’s communication network and entered the tower’s biological computing backend.

Immediately after, a series of new commands were sent out globally through various radar and satellite signals, encoded in the giant tower’s communication network format.

There was only one command:

Dissolve the core control hub’s brain matrix!

In the cloud network, Shen Feng, who witnessed this scene, couldn’t help but slap his thigh and exclaim:

"Holy shit, they actually did it."
